My cholesterol screaming taste buds would have to agree that you start your day well Gary.I posted a lunch photo yesterday. Today I'll post a bunch of breakfast-related photos. Almost every morning, my "first course" for breakfast is either hot or cold cereal, and whichever it happens to be, I almost always cut up some apple, grapes, and clementine to add to the cereal. Here are photos in which the fruit is almost always the same, but the knives differ from day to day.
This is probably the oldest of the pics in this post, featuring an oriental Schrade 5OT. Another unique feature of this photo is that I had access to a banana on the day the picture was taken:
I think I took this photo to show off the patina on the much-used spey blade of my Case chestnut jigged bone CV trapper (thanks, Chris). But I failed in showing the patina difference between the 2 blades.
The knife in this photo is a custom lambsfoot I won in an estimation game GAW last Labor Day IIRC (thanks,Rufus1949 & @Tyson A Wright). Note that the cut up orange in this pic has already been transferred to the first layer of cereal etc. in the bowl:
Here's a Rough Ryder Reserve Hawkbill doing the fruit-slicing honors; it's one of 3 knives @Modoc ED generously sent me last month. I was surprised at what a good food-prep knife the hawkbill is. If I keep the point of the "beak" down on the cutting board while doing pull cuts, it cuts like the dickens as Carl @jackknife used to say. What a breakfast that was, with TWO colors of grapes!
I have 3 more photos to post here, each featuring a knife I got myself as a Christmas or birthday present last December. First, as a change of pace, here's a Marble's smooth white bone sodbuster junior style knife shown with an apple, an orange, and a zucchini BEFORE the slicing commenced. Kind of an artistic still life photo.(That was probably a day I was making oatmeal, because I almost never put vegetables in my cold cereal.
A Rough Rider lambsfoot with carbon fiber handle is featured in this photo.
Finally, a 4.25" closed carbon steel Rough Rider stockman with synthetic handles does the breakfast honors. The big clip blade on this almost new knife is probably a Top Five slicer among the many knives I own; I'm surprised and impressed.

Nice eclectic mix of cutlery.
